Sometimes I run into problems that really annoy me, and even tho I know how to repair computers, I still need people to turn to for answers. Windows? Linux? Dos? Which one should it be? Windows is nice, and gets the job done. But I find that I'm usually having to tweak it to get it to behave the way I want. And even then it's almost impossible. I did have Windows 98se on my machine, I prefer that to Windows XP. It seems as if the more Windows updates it's OS, the more resources it needs.
I was using openSUSE 10.3...now that's a damn fine OS! It's free, it's not resource intensive, and it's great for learning.
Linux is cool! You can work in a windows environment or you can work from a command line interface. I had Slackware as the other OS on my dual boot machine. I used to run Red Hat. There are similarities to Linux flavors, but each is still individualistic enough to intrigue me. I like Linux because it gives me more control over my computer, and since it comes with the source code, you can actually do a lot more with it than with Windows. And now of course, I'm once again using Windows, Vista this time.
I now use a laptop which runs openSUSE fine. I have a desktop, which I don't use other than for parts if needed, not that I can use them in the laptop. But still, it's there. It just needs a new monitor, the old one needs thrown out and replaced.
Dos can be Free Dos, Ms-Dos, DrDos, or any other 'flavor' of Dos. There are even Internet utilities available for Dos. I have always enjoyed working from the command line, since it gave me more control over everything. And yes there are those who believe that Dos is dead. You can find Dos flavors on line that come with source code for those interested in working with it and making it more like they want, including multi-tasking Dos. Now how cool is that? Therefore Dos isn't dead.
Below is a list of links that are useful for getting help with computer problems. I have used each of these web pages to learn what I needed at the time, most of them more than once. So follow the links if you wish, drop me a line if you like...or not, as you choose. Has your PC gotten so slow it's pathetic? Now your shiny new toy is running slower than molasses? You may have spyware, malware or other programs installed on your PC, maybe even a rootkit, programs that you didn't install. In that case, you should run
